These apps, which really are protocols, have a native app coin which makes the economics of their networks go round. We think the implications of this are quite large: it changes how businesses are funded (crowdsale on blockchain, "public" from day 1) and presents a new business model (companies no longer make money from extracting rent on their platform, rather there is mutual ownership of the network and contributors can own more if they contribute earlier). There's a lot of goodwriting on this topic, and you can read our thinking on it here. • Ethereum hard forked and we were caught a little flat footed. We ultimately decided to go in the customer's favor and make all customers whole for the minority fork's currency called Ethereum Classic. • One of our largest exchange competitors, Bitfinex, was hacked, losing —$65m. Instead of declaring bankruptcy they are trying to issue a digital debt token to make customers whole. • We increased fees on our Coinbase.com product and hope to see a jump in revenue from that. Until next month! Fred Ehrsam Co-founder, President Coin base San Francisco, CA, USA You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Investors" group.
